Using the ceramic glass cooktop

Cooking on the ceramic glass cooktop is almost the same as cooking on coil surface units. There are, however, a few differences:

•The cooking surface area will glow red when the element is turned on. You will see the element cycling on and off – even on the HI setting – to help the area stay at the temperature setting you choose.

•Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry before cooking. Food and water particles left on the bottoms can leave deposits on the cooktop when it is heated.

•Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep the surface free from stains and give you the most even heating. See the “Cleaning tips” section.

•Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.

•Lift pots and pans onto and off of the cooktop. Sliding pots and pans on the cooktop could leave marks that are difficult to remove or could leave permanent marks.

•Do not cook popcorn that comes in prepackaged aluminum containers on the cooktop. The container could leave alumi- num marks on the cooktop that cannot be removed completely.

•Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.

•Do not allow anything that could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to come in contact with the cooktop while it is hot.

•Dropping a heavy or hard object on the cooktop could crack it. Be careful when using heavy skillets and large pots. Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop.

•Sugary spills and soils can cause pitting. See the “Cleaning tips” section.
